At the June 2018 meeting of the Provincial Executive, representatives passed a motion to remove the minutes of standing committees, the Executive committee, and the Provincial Executive from the website. Although AUPE is committed to transparency, having these minutes posted on the website exposed sensitive union information on a public forum, where it could be accessed by members of the public, media, and employers. This could potentially put the union at risk or undermine our ability to conduct business free from external influence.

On behalf of the Membership Services and Members’ Benefits committees, Vice-President Glen Scott receives a $2,500 donation for AUPE bursaries and scholarships from Tara Thorleifson of the Co-operators insurance and financial services.

A change to member anniversary recognition passed as a resolution at Convention has now been fulfilled, and Local and Chapter executive or members can request their anniversary pins online at the AUPE website.
